Chapter 107 Sales exploded, and everyone from all walks of life exploded
The next day, October 7th.
On the last day of the National Day holiday, around 10 a.m., Metaverse Intelligent Control posted a blog post on its official V.
[The company’s first domestic service robot, Xiaoyuan Robot, has ordered more than 15,600 orders on the first day]
Metaverse Intelligent Control has specially produced a poster showing the large number of orders. The company’s official website also uses the poster of Xiaoyuan Robot’s first-day order volume as the background of the web page.
Once this data was released, it was like a depth bomb being detonated, and the industry suddenly exploded.
Whether it is the technology circle, the capital circle or the media circle.
People from all walks of life who follow Xiaoyuan Robot were stunned when they saw the official first-day data released by Metaverse Intelligent Control. This news quickly detonated the Internet.
The previous hot search has not yet dropped, but on the first day the announcement of Dading has hit the hot search again.
[No brother, why are so many people buying it? Aren't you worried about becoming a guinea pig? ]
[This robot is obviously a toy for the rich. For those who have hundreds of millions in their hands, 780,000 yuan is really not expensive, so buy it early and enjoy it early. ]
[I am not that rich, 788,800 is a big number for me. Although I can afford it, I still have to wait and see.
]
[To you, 780,000 is not a small number, but to me it is an astronomical number.——]
[Niubi, I have seen many people predicting that 3,000 would be enough on the first day. Good guy, we did 15,600! ]
[? It feels like the sales volume is not very large]
[? ? ? ? ? ]
[No brother! Isn’t that much? Do you think it’s a Redmi phone costing more than 700 yuan? ]
[This is a large-ticket product with a unit price of 788,800 yuan. Let’s put it this way. The price of a Xiaoyuan robot is as much as a thousand Hongmi mobile phones. A large order of 15,600 Xiaoyuan robots is equivalent to the sales of more than 15 million Hongmi mobile phones on the first day. Don’t you think it’s not much now? ]
[Let the rich people explore the way for me first, and I will buy it if there is no problem (Shiba Inu.jpg)]
[That makes sense, if you don’t buy it I won’t buy it either, just wait and see (Erha.jpg)]
[Wake up, it’s time to go to work and screw the screws. ]
As a person in the industry, the first day of Xiaoyuan Robot’s launch shocked my boss’s jaw. ]
[The ultra-high net worth families that this product targets, there seem to be about 2 million domestic households with a net worth of more than 10 million, which means that nearly 1 of every 100 or so ultra-high net worth families will purchase it, and the conversion rate is astonishing. ]
By the afternoon, news about Xiaoyuan Robot’s large order had already flooded the Internet.
Media people exclaimed a miracle! The first-day order record for the most expensive single product in the history of consumer electronics was established!
Investors in the capital circle are beating their chests. They are heartbroken to have missed Metaverse Intelligent Control. The loss of this super unicorn has directly caused capital to make major adjustments to college student entrepreneurship.
All kinds of capital have made a new rule. From now on, if a university graduate with a degree in science and engineering wants to start a business, he or she should first pay a few million to start a business, regardless of what he wants to do.
It is not required that those who are top students in science and engineering can be comparable to cross-field super geniuses like Lu An. As long as they have extraordinary talents in a single field, then get on the bus.
Perhaps investing in a hundred such startups has failed, but if the 101st one succeeds, all the losses of the previous 100 wasted investments can be recovered, and some profits can still be made.
As for Metaverse Intelligent Control, as long as it succeeds in getting started, not to mention the first 100 business goals, all 1,000 of them will be wasted. If the investment in Metaverse supports this amount, all the previous losses can be recovered, and the return on investment can be obtained ten times or even a hundred times.
With Yuanjie Intelligent Control Zhuyu at the forefront, capital really does not want to miss the next Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
After Xiaoyuan Robot's massive sales hit the market on the first day, netizens are also discussing a hot topic.
That is, spending 788,800 yuan to buy a domestic service robot is better and more cost-effective than hiring a domestic nanny.
For a time, everyone began to settle accounts.
Someone calculated that the annual salary of a gold medal live-in nanny in first-tier cities is 200,000+, and they also have to take care of food, housing and vacations. Xiaoyuan Robot will pay back its capital in 4 years and has 6 years of service life left. It can still work 24 hours a day without complaining and has no vacations. It is a profitable business!
Some people calculated that if there is an elderly person with Alzheimer's disease, the monthly fee for a professional nursing home is 30,000+, and the expenditure in 27 months is enough to buy a Xiaoyuan robot. The key is that it can still be at home. This calculation is too clear, and it is super cost-effective.
However, some people ask, what if we include the software upgrade and hardware maintenance costs of Xiaoyuan Robot in the next ten years?
This topic is very hot. Many of the people participating in this topic are ordinary middle-class families, and the price of Xiaoyuan Robot's 788,800 yuan is still a very sensitive price for them.
Obviously, ordinary middle-class families are really willing to buy, but the price of 788,800 yuan is also very expensive for them, and they don’t just buy it.
As for those ultra-high net worth groups, not many people participated in this topic, because those who are willing to buy have already placed orders.
The unit price of 788,800 yuan is not a small amount, but for those ultra-high net worth groups, it is not much different from spending money to buy a mobility scooter, and ultra-high net worth families often have more than one car.
As long as they think Xiaoyuan Robot is not bad and it is necessary to buy one, they will not hesitate repeatedly at the price of 788,800 yuan.
The next day, Thursday, October 8th.
The first working day after the holiday has arrived as scheduled. There had been a lot of rumors about the state subsidy for bionic prosthetics. Today, the official news came and the boots fell on the ground.
The rumors are indeed true.
The state heavily subsidizes bionic prosthetics, but it is not a subsidy to consumers, but a targeted subsidy to Metaverse Intelligent Control, which will officially come into effect on January 1, 2016.
Half an hour later, Metaverse Intelligent Control issued a major announcement.
【The company's bionic prosthetic products have received national subsidy policy support of 17,000 yuan per piece. The company passed a resolution through the board of directors and officially announced that the price of the "National Bank Edition" of its bionic prosthetics has dropped from the current 20,000 yuan to 17,000 yuan, and the official guide price has dropped to 3,000 yuan.
Officially implemented on January 1, 2016. 】
Before the announcement of Metaverse Intelligent Control, the majority of consumers almost cursed, thinking that this was a subsidy for Metaverse Intelligent Control.
This company has made so much money, and its profits are already more than those of BAT, the three giants of the Internet.
It is a bit excessive to provide subsidies so fiercely.
But as soon as the announcement from Metaverse Intelligent Control came out, Zaan netizens who were about to start complaining suddenly backed down.
Suddenly, the screen was filled with compliments.
The vast majority of netizens and consumers have praised this subsidy policy as a good policy, and also praised Yuanjie Intelligent Control for its responsibility.
Okay, I admit that I spoke a little too loudly just now. ]
[I almost stopped holding this 40-meter machete]
[Yes, this must be given a thumbs up. ]
[I think it is very wise for the country to do this. Some small groups in the province use crooked ideas to cheat and subsidize in private. It is also troublesome for the country to investigate. Now we are staring at Yuanjie Intelligent Control to see if they have falsely increased sales and cheated. This saves worry and trouble]
Let me just say, these rumors about subsidies are 80% true.
[This industry is special. Heavy subsidies are used to drive down the price of prosthetics, allowing more disabled people to gain the ability to take care of themselves, thereby reducing social burdens. This is very different from other industries where subsidies are purely money-losing products. ]
[I don’t know how much social burden can be reduced at the macro level, but I know that it can definitely significantly reduce the family burden at the micro level, because there is a disabled person in my family, which has greatly affected my work, and I have also lost a family member of the labor force. ]
[Anyway, it’s a good strategy, support it!
[Is it possible that you will really be covered by medical insurance in the future? ]
[Although I bought it three months in advance and did not get the bonus, I still support it greatly. ]
[All three parties win, the country reduces the cost of social governance, the disabled get benefits, and Metaverse Intelligent Control also makes money. The profit of each prosthetic limb sold has not changed, but if the price is lowered, the total sales volume will definitely increase sharply in the future, and the absolute profit will also soar.
With the support of the state subsidy, the future sales of bionic prosthetic products are expected to double, triple, or even triple. It is not impossible.
The price of the product has dropped significantly to 3,000 yuan, which will inevitably accelerate its popularity.
There are approximately 25 million physically disabled people in China, of which about 15 million are the audience for Metaverse’s intelligently controlled bionic prosthetic products. If the annual sales volume is 5 million, the market will be saturated in about three years.
But this does not mean that the product will be saturated and unsaleable after three years, because after the price drops, the frequency of replacement by consumers will definitely increase.
When it was sold for 20,000 yuan before, it would take at least five years before consumers felt it was enough.
But as the price of the product drops to 3,000 yuan, consumers may want to replace it with a new one after two or three years.
Furthermore, Yuanjie Intelligent Control will definitely launch second and third generation products.
After a new product is launched, it will be time to replace it.
Now we just don’t know whether the state will continue to provide subsidies after the second-generation products are launched. Many netizens are also discussing this.
The time comes to Monday, October 26, in the morning.
Meng Qiuyan and Yu Changle came to the chairman's office.
Lu An told Changle: "Those upstream supply chain companies for bionic prosthetics will continue to place additional orders with them."
There are only two months left before the start of 2016. The company's Bionic prosthetic products will officially implement national subsidies on January 1 next year, and the terminal sales price will drop from the current 20,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan.
After the subsidy, the sales price has dropped by -85%, which will inevitably greatly promote sales.
Yu Changle said: "How many additional orders will be added?"
"Next year, I will increase the total production capacity to 4 million units, with an additional production capacity of 500,000 units." Lu An revealed this figure and immediately added: "Tell those supply chain companies that they must be delivered on time, and no time can be given to them." Hearing this, Yu Changle couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid that the production capacity will be expanded by nearly three times at once. I'm afraid it won't be delivered on time in such a short time."
Lu An said without thinking: "We will give them as much as they can eat. If they can't finish it, we will give the order to other OEMs."
Yu Changle nodded: "I understand."
And the remittance express Lu An tilted his head and asked Meng Qiuyan: "How long is the account period for the supply chain company for the previous order?"
Meng Qiuyan immediately replied: "45 days."
Yuan The account period given to Party B by Jiezhikong was 45 days for settlement, because at that time, funds had not yet been withdrawn, and they were still taking out loans to expand operations.
The capital chain was not as abundant as it is now, so the account period was 45 days.
This is already a very fast repayment in the eyes of supply chain companies.
It can only be said that it all relies on the support of peers. Some companies provide Party B with an account period of three months, which is considered fast. There are many companies that provide Party B with an account period of half a year, and the profits are not high.
· There is no order that upstream supply chain companies do not want to accept from Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
Lu An withdrew his gaze and pondered for a moment, then looked at Meng Qiuyan and ordered: "For the newly added orders, the contract needs to be adjusted. There is no billing period. We will pay first and then deliver the goods as we did with Apple. This will be the case for future contracts. After the contract is signed, the payment will be transferred, and after the money is taken, quickly expand production and recruit workers for me, and quickly increase production capacity."
Hearing this, Meng Qiuyan nodded lightly: "Okay."
There were still 45 days of account period before, but it is different now. Metaverse Intelligent Control's operating cash flow is very abundant, and its cash reserves are increasing every quarter.
